The Problems with Senator Warren’s Proposal to Break Up Big Tech

Andrew Evans

Senator Warren on Friday proposed breaking up the largest tech companies in order to promote competition and entrepreneurship. AAF’s Director of Technology and Innovation Policy Will Rinehart examines this proposal and explains why it won’t work.

His points:

The proposal won’t induce competition, but rather lead to chaos;

The history of breakups isn’t pretty;

The decline in entrepreneurship has many causes; and

The proposed policy would radically alter the economy and the Internet.
